Hello,
As I know a number of list members have attended previous REMIX Summits on Culture, Technology & Entrepreneurship so I thought list members might be interested in the launch of this year’s REMIX London 2014 Summit which is our European event.
It takes place at Google Town Hall, the new event space at Google’s London HQ on 2-3 December 2014. Please note there are just 150 tickets available due to the nature of the venue and the last two events both sold out.
A short intro to REMIX can be found below as well as the first 20 speakers of the 75 to be announced over the next few weeks.
